INSTALLATION
INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
SAFETY NOTE: The insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. The insert can be made a little lighter by removing the cast iron door by opening it and lifting it off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the installation.
NOTE: You will be required to purchase either the standard or offset 6" diameter (152mm)
flue adaptor that is best suited for the specifi c installation.
List of Tools needed;
-Pull Rod (included with insert)
-1/2” socket / ratchet
-3/8 open face wrench
1)Install fl ex liner into existing chimney as per liner manufacturer’s specifi cations. See diagram 1.
2)Install the required fl ue adaptor onto the end of the fl ex liner. Secure the adaptor using 3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side as shown in diagram 2.
Alignment of the fl ue adaptor can be critical during the install, it is recommended that the fl ex liner be left as compressed as possible. Before inserting the unit the adaptor should hang, when level, slightly above the required height.
3)Install the unit by fi rst setting the rear of the unit into the fi replace. See diagram 3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the existing fi replace and lined up with the fl ue adaptor.

4)Slide the unit back until the fl ue adaptor is slightly engaged.
5) At this point it is recommended to level the unit and ensure that the leveling bolts rest on the surface of the fi replace. This will keep the adaptor from binding as the unit is slid into position.
6)Insert the provided pull rod through the hole in the top center of the unit. Secure the threaded end into the fl ue adaptor as shown in diagram 4. While sliding the unit into place pull on the rod to ensure that the fl ue adaptor is properly engaged. See diagram 5.
7)Ensure that the unit is still level.
8)To complete the installation and to ensure a secure fi t and connection of the fl ue adaptor to the insert, it is essential that the two bolts, fl at washers and lock washers (supplied with packaged manual) be installed and tightened using a 1/2" socket as shown in diagram 6. This prevents the possibility of creosote drip and exhaust gas leakage.

9)Remove the pull rod from the top center of the fi replace. See diagram 7.
